Harold C C itibaren Ulaski Stamirowskie, Polonya itibaren Ulaski Stamirowskie, Polonya

Amy Sedaris fiksasyonum var ... bununla birlikte, bu hala komik bir okuma. Düzen, bir ilkokul ders kitabına benziyor ve bayanlar, erkekler, cenazeler, uyuşturucu bağımlıları, tarihler için gülünç parti fikirleriyle dolu ... ayrıca bazı oldukça yapılabilir tarifler (peynir topları!). Grafikler ve fotoğrafçılık da inanılmaz. 1000 dergide yeniden basıldığını görmekten fark ettiğim bir şey, keklerin tarifinin bir fırın sıcaklığı vermemesi ... oh iyi

Sanırım en sevdiğim kitap.

This has been my summer of dystopian novels. This kind of world would be my worst nightmare, no reading and no children. Yikes! It certainly gave me a lot to think about. Especially in regards to how wonderful it is to be in a family, and to love and be loved. This book talks a lot about the mindless effect that drugs and TV have. As I move to the end of summer with my kids I think I'll be unplugging the TV and computers for a few days, for more reading! This book does have some language and graphic scenes, but I read on.

I was immediately engrossed in this book and read it very quickly. It has all the things I like about historical fiction, like the broad scope of time and geography, and the way that the haggadah and the people associated with it served as this continuous throughline. After I read it, though-- and this is probably an issue with me and not with the book at all-- but after I finished then novel and read Brooks's afterword where she describes the real-life inspiration for the story I wished I had read a true history of the Sarajevo Haggadah, probably because I was disappointed that the beautiful story Brooks tells wasn't true. It's really a very good book, though, and I recommend it.
